In accordance with the mandate of Law Number 2/2024 on the Special Region of Jakarta (DKJ), superior human resources are needed to prepare Jakarta as a global scale business city and Golden Indonesia 2045.

Second, pay attention to environmental aspects which include waste processing, sanitation and waste water. Third, complete the accessibility aspect which includes the development of public transportation and roads.
